May 1516
It's the wedding day! Basically, we were woken up at like 5 in the fucking morning to immediately take a shower because they said that the make ups would be done by 7. So we reluctantly woke up and took a shower one by one. Once I was done, I thought we will be brought food but it turned out we had to go to Apitong to eat there and just come back. Then everyone was waiting in the room because we were told we were going to be picked up. While we were waiting, I visited the roof top and took a peek at Ante and Jourdan's breakfast. Then we were called up to just commute to Apitong but then Uncle Joey said we should wait for the car. We didn't know what to do so we watched Naked and Afraid. Anyway, we settled into going there by ourselves. We commuted to Apitong and once we were there, starving, they cooked eggs for us. We didn't take off right away because some gowns were stll being made so we just stayed ustairs while mocking Uncle Joel about his devotion to Duterte. When Kuya Carlo arrived, we just let him eat first then we were off to the hotel again. Since it was a pick-up truck, the boys were at the back. When we got to the hotel, we checked out what's going on and then proceeded to put down our things and went back to the room where were gonna be put a make up on. We waited there for quite some time. Angela and I even traded my Papa's polo shirt so it would be easily took off once the make up is on and the hair is done. I was definitely whining when they were shaving off eyebrows to subtly inform them but they still fucking shaved mine and I was absolutely screaming inside. Anyway, I fucking hated my face after but loved it eventually. Once our make up was done we went upstairs to stay in the room first and before we had our hair fixed, we were told to wear our gowns first so we did. It was a struggle at Uncle Joey's room. We were all complaining about our dresses but we had no choice. When we were done changing, we were called to get our hair done. I was the last one to get my hair done and it actually turned out great. When we were all done, my hell started once I put on my high-heeled shoes. We went down to the lobby and saw Tita Myra being shot by the photographers and then eventually we were asked to pose for some pictures with her. It was massively awkward but fun at the same time. Then the bride was called to go upstairs but it would be a hassle so we waited for the make up artist instead. However, when he got down, he yelled and got mad that Tita Myra was lead downstairs. Once she was already there, we took pictures first then Uncle Tito arrive so we immediately went to ride in the car. When we got to the church, almost everybody was there and it was so exciting. I saw Kate who was really beautiful with make up on. After taking loads of pictures, we were already queued up to walk through the aisle. Jourdan was beside me asking me what to do but I didn't have answers so he just waited there. I was paired with someone I do not know and he was nervous and whispering to me that he was. Everybody adored Jourdan when he walked in a barong and walking slowly with the rings. Then eventually, it was Tita Myra's turn. Her walk was really elegant and I loved the effects; bubbles and smoke air. Some of the people, including me, cried a bit. It was just a really magical moment. The mass was great and so was the cute priest lol. Anyway, my heels were killing me during the mass and I seldomly took them off. Jourdan was so patient at his seat and the priest was really cute. After the mass, the picure taking occured and it was so fun especially when the groom's family was called. We also had our own picture taking, without the couple which was all fun and games. After it, we proceeded to the reception. My heels were such a drag because I even had to climb up the stairs. When we were seated at our table, we were called to go downstairs again because we still had to take pitures with the couple, a pictorial. When we got there, I was massively regretting life because it was too hot and MY FUCKING HEELS. Anyway, the shoot was fun except the jump shots. We get to act like a couple with our groomsmen and carry the bride's trail and even get inside the bridal car. Once we were done, we went to the reception again and I was just so pissed that we had to wait for our seats again because our supposedly reserved ones were taken. I just sad with my family instead which was way better. I played with my god daughter, Anadel, and even carried her. And I just got so tired that I took off my heels and felt amazingly free, and short. I first just carried Anadel around and then I got food with Ate Bodak. While we were all eating, a guy with a really good voice sang 3 songs for us, he was really good. Then photo booth was announced so me and my cousins went there immediately to get our photo with Tita Emz. It was a lovely photo with my fat arms. Anyway, we got back and it was already pakot time and I was told to make pakot some money to Tita Myra's gown. After the pakot and all, the single men were called. The traditional get the garter whatever was done and it was someone from Tita Myra's side who won. Then single women were called for the bouquet. The thing was, the last one who wouldn't have the bouquet would be the feign bride and would be partnered with the feign groom. Unfortunately, the girlfriend of the latter did not win the bride thing and Naneth did. So it was massively awkward because the girlfriend was taking picture while her boyfriend and Naneth were being coupley. Anyway, messages from relatives were given and also from the couple themselves and the program was done. Of course, my family were the last ones left so we had the floor and danced a lot and took a lot of pictures. I love Kate's poses a whole lot. Then everyone wanted to go home already because everybody was tired. We had to go back to the hotel because our things were still there so we waited for a ride. Our way to the hotel was liberating because we got to take off our heels. When we got off the car, we ran barefoot to the room and immediately changed. After changing our clothes and fixing our things, we went to the lpbby and waited for quite a long time there for Kuya Carlo to get back to pick us up. He areived after some attempts of hide and seek. When we got to Apitong, we were fully ready to go disco but unluckily, everybody was exhausted. We just ate a little bit and mostly rested and listen to the adults talk and laugh. Almost everyone was there in the house so it was so fun. I even played with the babies who were still up. We thought about things and figured Ate Bodak should go back with us to the hotel so she did. Uncle Tito and his fam had to go home already and we rode along so we could be dropped off at the hotel. We got Jollibee first because Jourdan was hungry and when we got to the room, we rested for a while. We realized we obviously wouldn't fit on the bed and we were trying to figure out what to do. Ante, with Uncle Joey's suggestion, requested for a new bed for us. When it arrived, the gay omang was the one helping to fix the bed and they actually did a great job. When our beds were already fixed, Jourdan ate his food and I went to give Uncle Joey and Tita Myra some food we found in our room. After some time, we got so so tired so instead of finishing this entry, I slept. And also, I'm still trying to love my eyebrows and I hate make ups that cannot be removed easily. As Jourdan said, "Your eyes look different."
